BOWLS
An 18-year-old local bowler has become the youngest ever winner of the Zone Open Singles which were held at Ettalong Bowling Club on February 27.
Bailey Meti took on Halekulani’s Mark Wheatley in the BCC/Zone 15 Open Singles Final, winning 31 to 22.
Ettalong Bowling Club said they were very proud of him.
“After a glittering career in the Junior ranks where he had represented the State on several occasions and won the grand slam of Zone Junior events in 2021, Bailey advanced to the Opens where he brushed aside many of the best and much more experienced bowlers in the Zone,” the Club said.
“Bailey now advances to the 2021 NSW State Championships also to be held at Ettalong in May.
“Even though he has been contracted and snapped up by the astute Cabramatta Club, Bailey will still be seen in Ettalong colours in these State Championships as well as for the upcoming Grade 1 State Pennant Finals at Forster in March and the State Junior Championships at Warilla in April prior to the curtain finally falling on his Ettalong career.
“For one so young commencing to bowl at Ettalong as a seven-year-old and to reach such lofty heights at only 18 is an absolutely outstanding achievement with undoubtedly many more to come.”
